ABSTRACT :
Stress-induced voiding was studied on submicron aluminum
interconnects. A phenomenological model is derived to describe the
median time of failures which are caused by the growth of stress-
induced voids. Based on this model a procedure for the prediction of
lifetime is proposed. Furthermore, the influence of stress-induced
voids on the electromigration performance is discussed. It will be
shown, that a reduced current density exponent is found in stress-
induced void damaged lines, leading to a decrease of
electromigration lifetimes.

Keywords : Stress-induced voiding, Model for median time to failure, Failure distributions, Activation energy, Lifetime extrapolation, Reliability, Electromigration
